Every time GK speaks he says something really dumb. He just isn’t smart. He’s proof that dumb people can get to high places.
Can someone be that dumb though? Maybe he is totally outsmarting us. Not sure how, but that’s because he’s outsmarting me.

Better to be stupid and keep your mouth shut than to open it and remove all doubt

College football conference title games see ratings take a dip: Sports on TV
Championship weekend numbers were down in college football. Plus, notes on the NFL, World Cup and more.
SEC: 10.89 million (-5 million)
Big Ten: 10.69 million (-1 million)
Big 12: 9.41 million (+1.4 million)
Pac-12: 5.96 million (+4.2 million)
ACC: 3.46 million (+1 million)
I think that is a really good showing for the Big 12. Perhaps competitive football matters...
That is up for the ACC? They may want to move to 9 am or friday against the pac 12.

Of the Saturday games, the Big-12’s was the only one of consequence to the playoff. Obviously nice to see viewership up, but I wouldn’t use this year as a super accurate barometer of fan interest in each conference.
There needs to be something at stake in order to get the casual fan to watch. The fact of the matter was that the ACC title game was just two average football teams this year. The low number for USC-UU should be more concerning.
So, does that mean that a deal with Colorado was done weeks or months ago and the PAC knew it?
It's actually really funny to me that there are basically four time slots (Friday night, and Saturday noon, afternoon, and night) and five power conferences, and the one that gets the short end of the stick in viewership is the ACC. But I will say the ACC's time slot is more fan friendly than the Pac-12 or Big 12. I would prefer to play at night if TV didn't drive the bus.
The SEC is always going to be in the afternoon and the B1G at night. The other three leagues have to figure out what makes sense for them.
I'd say an exclusive 11:00 is better than sharing a 6:00 timeslot with either the Big10 or SEC. Even if you had the better game, the networks would make sure the other game got 10x the advertising and hype that yours did.
